Congratulations to Homers Heros who extended the daylight between them and the rest of the Winter Swiss field with a 19-11 win over Breg tonight.
Drum Roll please for the full 2009 Winter Swiss awards:
Champions: Homers Heros
Plate: Tiger-Bees
Consolation: Ojays
In the plate Tiger-bees secureed their win with a 20-10 over Online Go Girls. They were chased hard though by the Musketeers who also had a good win but 22-8 was not quite enough and even a 25 would have seen them 1.4 VPs short.
The real excitement was in the Consolation. The Masters went into their match against Ojays 8 VPs ahead and their superior net imps meant that so long as they didn't lose by more than 11-19 they would be ok. Ojays went into the last board 8 imps ahead. That converts to only a 17-13 result. On Board 12 N/S were cold for a vulnerable 4h but there was no way to make 5. Ikanarat and judz1 found a good dive of 5c which pushed The Masters N/S to 5. They will be kicking themselves for not doubling. At the other table E/W were a little unlucky not to find their club fit and 4h were bid and made for 12 imps to the Ojays. That pushed the difference out to 20 imps which converts to (you guessed it) 20-10 and the Ojays were home by the narrowest of margins.

The Lotto Ladder event will be a fun experiment. It will be run on a challenge based ladder system. Teams will be seeded to start with. Team names will be drawn out of a hat each week and teams will get to choose their opponents amongst those teams left. Obviously this could work quite unfairly if you’re not lucky with the draw! There will be recognition for the top team as well as the team that improves the most places on its original seeding.The Lotto Ladder event will be a fun experiment.
